The sophomore guard scored 16 against VCU, then added 20 versus N.C. Central. She shot 63.2 percent from the field in the two games, including 71.4 percent from behind the three-point arc. In addition, she grabbed a combined 10 rebounds and five assists over the two games.

UNCW men to offer kids clinics

UNCW men's basketball will offer a pair of free clinics for kids after a pair of games during the season. The clinic, which are open to boys and girls from kindergarten through sixth-grade, will be held after the Dec. 17 game against Furman and Jan. 13 game against Northeastern.

The 45-minute clinic will be run by UNCW's coaches and players. In addition to learning about the game, campers will be given posters and have an opportunity to get autographs and win prizes. Registration is not required, but participants will be asked to sign a waiver. For more information, contact Matt Lynch at lynchm@uncw.edu or 910-962-3045.
